80 families. Up to 5 kiddos in some families. More than 2,300 photos taken🤯
WOW. I truly don’t even know where to begin except to say THANK YOU.
If you saw the line for heirloom portraits today and decided to keep walking…I honestly don’t blame you 😂 I arrived back downtown 45 minutes early, and there was already a line waiting for ME!
I’ll be transparent—the overwhelming joy, heat, and sheer number of people waiting got the best of me for a minute, and I had a legitimate panic attack🥴 I somehow kept photographing through the tears, but I absolutely could not have made it through today without my village.
My mom came back to save me, Elli—my right hand and one of my 2027 seniors— jumped in wherever I needed her, and two wonderful Depot Days volunteers helped keep everything moving. I am SO incredibly grateful for each of them.
And to every single family who stood in the heat, waited patiently, encouraged me, asked for a business card, or simply trusted me to photograph your babies: thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU!🤍
If I’m blessed enough to do this again next year, we’re scheduling an intermission because WHEW. Y’all put me to WORRRRK😂
📸 WHEN WILL YOUR PHOTOS BE READY?
Please make sure you scan the QR code you received and enter your information. That is how you’ll know when your gallery is live!
With more than 2,300 images to sort through and edit, I’m currently estimating approximately 3–4 weeks for delivery. These heirloom portraits receive detailed editing, so I can guarantee ONE beautifully finished heirloom image per person photographed. If you receive more than one in your gallery, consider it a little bonus🤪
Your heirloom image will be available to download for FREE. You’ll also have the option to purchase professional prints directly through your gallery. If you choose to order prints, THANK YOU—you’re supporting my small business even more, and I appreciate it more than you know.
Thank you again for your patience, your kindness, and for showing up for me in such a BIG way today.
I love this community. I love my clients. And I truly could not do what I do without YOU🤍 S/O to cullmanregional for sponsoring this, too!
